Overview

Mission

NonProfit Organization dedicated to the inclusion and support of individuals with disabilities within the Muslim community of Houston.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community Awareness Program: Our Community Awareness Programs have experienced tremendous growth over the past year, welcoming an increased number of dedicated interns and volunteers who are gaining valuable hands-on experience and professional skills in disability support and care. As more families connect with and rely on Dar-us-Sakina? s services, our interns and volunteers play a vital role in meeting the needs of a growing community. Their work not only strengthens their future career paths but also enhances the lives of the families we are privileged to serve, helping to address the ongoing shortage of skilled support personnel. This expansion reflects remarkable progress and a deeper community impact. Collectively, these programs have not only met but far exceeded expectations, reinforcing Dar-us-Sakina? s pivotal and expanding role in building a more inclusive and supportive society for individuals with disabilities and their families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
